Women rally in Chicago on Equal Pay Day

Established in 1996 by the National Committee on Pay Equality, the day is meant to bring awareness to the fight women constantly battle when it comes to the gender pay gap.

The narrowest gender wage gap exists in NY and DE, where women earn 89% of the median salary for men. According to research by the American Association of University Women, for every $1 paid to white men, Hispanic women eared 54 cents, African American women earned 63 cents, white women earned 79 cents and Asian American women earned 87 cents.

Wyoming has the largest gap between men and women at 36 percent with NY and DE taking the top spots at 11 percent.
